Abstract
A cable-entry seal for a multicontact seismic cable connector consists of a cable anchor molded near an end of a multiconductor cable and a sphincter grommet. A compression sleeve, urged by a gland nut axially compresses the sphincter causing it to expand radially to form a water tight seal. A rotatable locking cam has a spiral slot lined with a low friction material to lock a pair of cable connectors together.
